Oakland

That's my Dad (Dick Fagerstrom) - lyricist, song-writer, banjo player and lead singer. He'd be thrilled to know his music made it to KZbin - if he had any idea what KZbin was ;-)

Eric Fagerstrom wow, great history. what is the name of your dad's band? i love this song. my native san franciscan mom reared us on this song. i have a great video of her and my cousin singing it in front of the oakland tribune tower.

That's a Awesome Video, I Was Born in Oakland & Still Proud to Live here, Its about Time they Have a Song For our Beloved City,

I love this video too. I've lived here since 1966, and I consider this home. I just hope we don't lose our beloved oakland A's.

"Right outside the city limits Scoots a freeway called The Nimitz" Arguably the greatest rhyming couplet in musical history!

I would also love to get a recording of both sides of the original 45 record.

[@Baridan]

I've been singing that one for over a year now. Is there any way to get a recording?

[@fongtorres]

hi, I only had the LP version; don't know about a 45 rpm. I suggest using Audacity or Adobe Audition to capture the audio.

Is there any way to get a copy of the original 45 record?
